SUMMARY:Matt & Kim at Scala - Friday 8th April 2016 - 7:00 pm until 10:00 p
 m 
DESCRIPTION:Matt and Kim\, aka Matt Johnson (vocals/keyboards) and Kim Schi
 fino (drums)\, get things rolling in their exuberant style with a performa
 nce lyric video for the song “Get It”: Three minutes and seven seconds
  of heaven for anyone who has\, or hasn’t yet\, seen Matt and Kim’s le
 gendary live shows.\n\nWith New Glow\, the duo who love hip-hop and pop ha
 ve made an album of undeniably catchy beat-driven anthems with hooks that 
 just don’t stop and just won’t leave your head. “The best era of mus
 ic is right now and I believe we’re doing our best work yet.” says Mat
 t.\n“Anyone who has seen one of our shows knows we love any style of mus
 ic you can have fun and get wild to. I’m not sure we were able to put th
 at diversity on any of our albums the way we did on New Glow. While there 
 are definitely songs that will feel familiar to people who know our stuff\
 , there are also songs like “Get It” which have always been part of wh
 o we are but went unrecorded to this point. We helped edit a lyric video f
 or “Get It”\, using live footage from a handful of festivals and shows
  we played in the last couple years. Going through that footage really mad
 e it hard to believe how lucky we are to have the best f**king job in the 
 world.”\nThe two met while attending Pratt Institute and quickly became 
 known for their thunder-punching\, melodic mix of indie and dance music. R
 ight off\, Spin said “there truly is no sound these two won’t use to s
 upport their almost religious commitment to spreading huge grins\,” whil
 e Pitchfork described their quality as “melody so happily jerky and rhyt
 hms so dangerously spastic that you can practically hear paroxysmal crowds
  pogo-ing madly…Johnson sings\, and thousands of other kids in his zip c
 ode (and others like it around the country) feel like he’s describing th
 eir Saturday nights.”\n\nAll the while they toured the globe\, becoming 
 the go-to band for raw exuberance\, bombastic beats\, sing-along refrains 
 and dance-ready anthems on larger and larger scales. They’ve performed a
 t many\, many major music festivals including Lollapalooza\, Bonnaroo\, Co
 achella\, Firefly\, Summerfest\, Big Day Out\, Fuji\, V\, Pukkelpop and Ul
 tra.\nBrooklyn indie dance duo Matt and Kim released New Glow\, the band
 ’s latest full length on April 07th\, 2015.
